In Memorial


It’s with a heavy heart that we pass along the new that our little Deetz has passed away. She was very special to us and we will miss her very much. She has been having a hard time with her anxiety and we finally got to the point that she wasn’t living a happy life anymore.






Deetz came to live with Jeff and I in the spring after we were married. I really thought Jeff was trying to find the strangest dog out there when he showed me her picture. She was skinny and skittish and wouldn’t eat eggs. What dog doesn’t like eggs?? This was the beginning of her neurotic behavior. She was our first “baby” and we loved her anyway.





Jeff and Deetz had a very special bond. They would spend countless days together while Jeff should have been studying for law school.




We were both struck by how much her passing has affected us. Even though she ended up driving us crazy towards the end, we will miss her bad breath, picky appetite, ability to escape the babies and her desire to curl up under a blanket.




Deetz did have a few loves that will always remind us of her; chicken, cupcakes, candy, laying in the sun, rolling in the sun, whipped cream, treats, and Jeff. We will miss you Deetz. (above: rolling in the grass)






We know it seems weird to be this upset over a funny looking, 3 1/2 pound, crazy little dog with one blue eye and one brown, but she held such a special place in our hearts. She made us laugh so much we only hope that the memories of her time with us will get us through this tough time.


Jeff asked me to add this photo, it's one of his favorite's. It was her second Halloween with us. We were living in Ft. Worth at the time. She loved to dress up. :) Not at all really.

Poor Deetz! I'm terribly sorry for your loss I know how much she meant to you guys, especially Jeff. If there is anything the cartoons of our youth taught us though it is that All dogs go to heaven right? She's in a better place now. Love you Steph!
